The process was thorough but engaging throughout.
I had to do a 3-stage interview process; this is industry standard for the level on seniority of the role.
First stage was a general pulse check with HR.
Second stage was with my line manager and was more about my previous experience and why I wanted to work for Rise.
Third was an engaging task. I was set the task to put together a 90 day plan using the role description and link this back to my experience. This was fun to do and engaging. It felt natural to present this back, not forced. I also loved doing this as now I have the role, we are actively implementing some of my ideas I pitched in the 3rd stage.
